A snippet of "Barry". From Salah Ananse's upcoming EP of Rare Groove interpretations.

Barry (Coming Soon)

Artist: Jonson, Jonson & Jonson
Title: Keep Falling For It
Label/Cat No: Ramrock Blue/ RRB023
Release Date: September 9th, 2024

Jo Wallace stumbled across the previously independently released, blue eyed soul masterpiece, ‘Keep Falling For It’ during a late night trawl of the internet at the end of 2023. She was instantly smitten and the ensuing correspondence with the band, Jonson, Jonson and Jonson, ensured that the release of this heartbreakingly, beautiful composition would go out on Ramrock Blue. This first release comes courtesy of Joe Cang deciding that one of the band’s soulful, thematic instrumentals was worthy of his highly evocative vocals delivering his tender but wise lyric about the world’s insatiable appetite for the media’s alternative truths, thus creating ‘Keep Falling For It’. I defy you not to be reduced to a mass of emotionally uplifted molecules by the time you’ve finished listening to ‘Keep Falling For It’

Jonson, Jonson and Jonson comprise of three humans - one studio - no stress. Why ‘Jonson Jonson and Jonson’ you ask? ‘Cang, Schogger and Thornalley’ sounded like reputable accountants so their names were swapped for the partially trusted and familial throwaway ‘Jonson Jonson and Jonson’. Formed randomly during an afternoon studio session, these three, well seasoned songwriter/ producers began by improvising on a vibe and immediately recorded it live as a trio with Danny Schogger on piano, Joe Cang on bass and vocals and Phil Thornalley playing the drums, and the track came together quickly, with much laughter and little planning. 

Individually, Danny Schogger has written and produced hits for Celine Dion and performed with George Michael. Joe Cang co-wrote the No. 1 ‘Shine’ for reggae supergroup, Aswad, worked with the iconic Hall & Oates as well as releasing music as a solo artist signed with the legendary Clive Davis. Phil has produced ‘The Cure’, written songs for Natalie Imbruglia and performed in Bryan Adams’ band.

Artist: Joseph Malik 
Title: Adult Contemporary (Shuya Okino + ROOT SOUL Rework EP)
Release date: July 18th, 2025
Label: Ramrock Red Records
Cat No: RRR086

The story begins in the early 00’s when Joseph Malik and Shuya Okino were both signed to Munich based label, Compost Records and Joseph was on tour in Japan with iconic soul artist, Terry Callier. Shuya showed up at the gig and took Joseph to his legendary night club ‘The Room’ in Shibuya, Tokyo and from that early meeting, a bond of musical brotherhood began. They stayed in touch even after Joseph had left Compost, and the pair met up on a regular basis when Shuya visited Edinburgh as his wife, Jo, is from the same city. Joseph had always wanted to work with Shuya after hearing his production skills on Kyoto Jazz Massive’s releases – the group Shuya founded with his brother, Yoshihiro in 1994. So, when Shuya remixed ‘Just to be free’ on Joseph’s ‘Diverse 3’ 2021 album, the precedent was set.

Early in 2025, Shuya reworked Joseph’s track, ‘Adult Contemporary’, taken from his highly acclaimed 2023 ‘Proxima Ebony’ LP and, along with ROOT SOUL, Shuya delivers the full ‘Chic funk dance’ experience, all recorded in Tokyo, Japan and mastered by Darren Morris at North Street West studio in the UK. Guaranteed to cause maximum dance floor damage this summer.

Slave Song (Salah Ananse Mix)

Every year I try to do a Holiday Remix. This is my FAVORITE Christmas song reimagined for the dance floor. Enjoy!

Vince Guaraldi Trio- Christmastime Is Here (Ananse Spiked Nog Extended Vocal Edit)

From my Grammy-nominated album with the Heritage Blues Orchestra "And Still I Rise", an international collaboration honoring African-American Musical traditions. This song was made famous by Leadbelly and remains one of the only work songs I know of that references women being in chain gangs. 

Note: Hannah is a code for the sun.

Go Down Hannah

This is one of my favorite traditional Blues songs to sing. Also known as "The Killing Floor Blues" which refers to coming upon hard times and having to work in a slaughter house. This song also highlights the call and response that happens between the voice and the guitar in this genre.

With blues/folk/roots music lyrics often change with the teller and the experiences they bring to the music. i had never heard a woman singing this song...or singing it with lyrics that refer to loving another woman, or doing whatever it took to support and love their partner during said hard times. 

Recorded live at Aulnay All Blues Festival in France with the Heritage Blues Trio in 2009.

We are a house music label with artists from all over the world. We do not believe in hype, we believe in what we feel!
